Re: The Great Mood Thread

I was talking to a former coworker last night, and he told me that the company he works for now might be interested in recruiting me in Jan/Feb, as long as they can get it in the budget. The benefits aren't as great as what I'm getting now, but the pay would be about $20K more than what I'm currently making. I think I can live with that.

Re: The Great Mood Thread

My god, things just keep getting better. I was talking to an old friend of mine from my days pushing chemicals back in NJ who'd transferred from slinging narcotics to managing quarter of a billion dollar investment portfolios for companies like Morgan Stanley and Goldman and only heard from him about once a year since. When I told him about the new startup I'm a part of he got very excited and started talking about coming on as CFO, bringing with him significant capital and connections to expand our product to Europe and South America where he has a lot of connections. Fuck yeah.

Re: The Great Mood Thread

What a day for a daydream....... I do have to say I am waking up better now that I am curtailing my drinking. I think I will go out and buy a new pc today. The one I want is about 1800 so I hesitate a bit. I love life cr****

Re: The Great Mood Thread

I bought my pc after much deliberation. I'll post a pic and stuff of it in the tech thread...... I love it .....I only had to give my first child. I said no deal unless they took both the oldest and the youngest. cr****

Re: The Great Mood Thread

Remember about a month or so back when I had like the best day of my life? Well, that was a precursor to today. Today my new company finally landed its first huge client. I can't remember the last time I was this optimistic.

Re: The Great Mood Thread

CNN and Turner Sports are adding ESPN correspondent Rachel Nichols to their ranks. Nichols will anchor a weekend sports program for CNN, and will cover sports as a correspondent for CNN and Turner Sports. Her first assignment will be the Super Bowl next week in New Orleans.

Nichols was a workhouse at ESPN, contributing to “SportsCenter,” “NBA Countdown,” “Sunday NFL Countdown” and ESPN’s newsmagazine “E:60.” The new CNN program, which will debut “later this year” also opens up synergistic possibilities for Turner, which has invested heavily in sports programming under David Levy. The company has in the last few years secured NCAA basketball playoff games, and signed new long-term deals with the NBA and MLB.

The move also underscores new CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker‘s desire to diversify news on the network, moving beyond politics and the same handful of stories that get repeated on all the cable channels.

“We’re just thrilled that a sports journalist of Rachel’s stature and expertise will now be a regular part of the CNN lineup,” said Zucker in a statement. “Her arrival, beginning next week, is an important step in expanding the range of programming and storytelling on CNN.”

Nichols Will Anchor New Weekend CNN Sports Program and Report for Turner Sports Across Television and Digital Platforms

Nichols will serve as a sports reporter for CNN and Turner Sports and will anchor a new weekend sports program on CNN/U.S. beginning later this year. Her CNN program will focus on the most interesting stories and personalities in the world of sports. In her role with Turner Sports, Nichols will handle a wide variety of assignments across the division’s vast sports properties including the NBA and Major League Baseball. Additionally, Nichols will cover all major sporting events, including the Olympics for CNN. Her first assignment will be the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

“We’re just thrilled that a sports journalist of Rachel’s stature and expertise will now be a regular part of the CNN lineup,” said Zucker. “Her arrival, beginning next week, is an important step in expanding the range of programming and storytelling on CNN.”

“Rachel is a high profile talent and skilled reporter and we are proud to have her join the Turner Broadcasting family,” said Levy. “Rachel’s broadcast experience covering a wide variety of assignments including breaking news, major sports events, human interest features and investigative pieces will be a perfect fit across Turner Sports’ many properties and platforms.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to join the CNN and Turner Sports family,” said Nichols. “I believe in Jeff’s vision for CNN, and have always admired the great work of Turner Sports and what David has done there. I’m looking forward to getting started at the Super Bowl.”

Prior to joining CNN and Turner Sports, Nichols spent nine years at ESPN, working as a correspondent for SportsCenter, Sunday NFL Countdown, NBA Countdown and the network’s newsmagazine show, E:60, as well performing sideline duties on a number of Monday Night Football broadcasts. Earlier in her career, Nichols worked as a reporter for the Washington Post and the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.
